The race usually takes 20-25 days these days... so if it starts tomorrow...

They will have enough time for Phil to be back to attend after finale talk shows etc as well.

Plus give us a REALLY good preview *hopefully*

For what it's worth, earlier today someone tweeted Phil to ask how long it takes to film a season and Phil's reply was

#12Shows21Days

It's a lil' longer than 21 days sometimes.

Yeah, it is longer sometimes. 21 days is about the lower limit for how fast they can run the race. However, Phil would be in a position to know what is planned for TAR 24 and when asked a general question, he said 21 days. I'd say that's worth keeping in mind as the race progresses.

Ryan and Abbie... most likely won't be on. Sigh. Jaymes and James are uncertain too... what? Jaymes seemed to be doing a show? Anyone can confirm that.Max and Katie are... unlikely due to twitter feeds suggestion.

If they are doing a UB theme again, has anyone thought the possibility that Jessica & John might be one of the teams? Who can have more unfinnished business than the team eliminated with a EP in hand? I hope this won't happen because I never really liked them.

Chester & Ephraim... these guys are ok, but they aren't one of my favorite teams... Hope not.

What is for you an UB team? For me are all who couldn't win, because they can't win, and this is their objective. I think, for you, an UB team they're only strong teams who can't win... I see Amy & Daniel perfect for an UB season, or All Stars, and they are not so strong in his season. The bad thing? Amy has tweeted today they go to Europe for a World Cup (I think snowboard or something like this).

It seems Trey has cancelled his account. And Lexi has tweeted on 12 November. I love this couple... Now they are married. Please!

I've a feeling there may be a few surprise teams. There has been about 5 all ff teams been thrown round: Twinnies, Pwinnie, Country singers, Mallory +1 and now BB wives. I can't see any more than 3, unless we have 12 teams!

I wouldn't expect Chester and Ephraim for TAR24. They've been pretty active, and while that's not an automatic assumption of lack of participation, they're pretty conflicted. Sure they're retired, but with the latter having a significant role on Fox Sports Live (which started after TAR23 was taping), it probably isn't the Houston guys. That does suck, as I expected them to return (but for TAR26 had that been a return of racers season). Maybe they'll get another shot in a couple years for TAR28.

Jessica & John I actually do not mind. Which also means I wouldn't mind if they didn't get cast this time. It'll probably be someone no one cares about, to the point where it wasn't even worth mentioning. Liz & Marie, Laurence & Zac, and Art & JJ would make the best sense, but per Asia's hit song, Only Time Will Tell!

Every reality star is someone's favorite

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on
